No mention of Decky Loader and Power Tools plugins? I've never heard anyone use Corectrl for the deck.

I chose CoreCtrl because it is fairly hardware-agnostic, rather than being specifically for the Deck.

Corectrl is fine for desktop mode but not gaming mode. Decky Loader also has tons of other plugins besides Power Tools, really no excuse to not give it a mention.
